Closure to “<i>Total Lateral Surcharge Pressure Due to Strip Load</i>” by Ramon Jarquio (October, 1981)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
Trench Excavation Effects on Adjacent Buried Pipes: Finite Element Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Ground movements generated by the excavation of trenches presents some risk of damage to buried services nearby. The effects of such excavation on adjacent buried pipes have been analyzed using a three‐dimensional finite ... -
Discussion of “<i>Pulverized Coal Ash as Structural Fill</i>” by Gerald A. Leonards and Bruce Bailey (April, 1982)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
Pore Pressure Development During Cyclic Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A mathematical expression is developed for the relationship between the excess pore pressure buildup in sands during cyclic loading and the normalized number of cycles. This expression is based on the equations proposed ... -
Discussion of “<i>Initial Pore Pressure from Vertical Surface Loads</i>” by Jacobo Bielak (September, 1982)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
Shallow Land Burial of Low‐Level Radioactive Waste
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Low‐level radioactive waste has been produced since the early 1940's. Most of it has been buried in shallow pits at 11 existing sites. Several of the existing sites have performed poorly. Inability to control flow of surface ... -
Side Load Transfer in Driven and Drilled Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Driven and drilled piles transfer comparable unit loads to over consolidated clays, yet the stresses to which they subject the soil are different. Fullscale load tests of piles of both types in the overconsolidated Beaumont ... -
Impact Stresses During Dynamic Compaction
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The development of an analytical model for describing ground behavior during dynamic compaction requires that the magnitude of impact stresses be known. Although several theoretical methods for calculating dynamic stresses ... -
Increase in SPT <i>N</i>‐Values Due to Displacement Piles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A technique that was used to estimate the safety factor against liquefaction by predicting the increase in SPT N-values due to driving of displacement piles in sand is presented. The prediction method involved applying ... -
Design Footing Area with Biaxial Bending
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A direct method of proportioning a rectangular footing area subjected to biaxial bending is proposed as an alternative to the trial and error method of solution. Formulas for the dimensions of the footing area are derived ... -
Bearing Capacity of Strip Footing above Void
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The bearing capacity behavior of strip footing located above a continuous void in silty clay soil was investigated experimentally and analytically. The experiment was performed in a test tank which contained a compacted ... -
Dynamic Lateral Pile‐Group Effects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Dynamic lateral pile‐group effects are studied parametrically for a linearly elastic soil‐pile‐structure system. The soil layer is assumed homogeneous, and all piles are identical and vertical. Pile‐group responses for the ... -
Embankment Failure on Clay near Rio de Janeiro
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)The construction on an instrumented trial embankment on soft clay is described. Field measurements of pore‐pressure and vertical and horizontal displacements were carried out and the results are discussed. Foundation ... -
Borehole Sealing for Underground Waste Storage
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Rock drilling is involved in field investigations in the search for suitable sites for nuclear waste repositories. The boreholes have to be sealed with some low-permeable, ductile, and chemically stable plugs. Compacted ... -
Compaction and Related Properties of Retorted Oil Shale
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)AS part of a project to demonstrate the feasibility of retorting oil shale by the Paraho vertical retort process, laboratory and field tests were per formed to determine the physical and chemical properties of retorted oil ... -
Closure to “<i>Example Cost Of 3‐D Fem for Underground Openings</i>” by Charles W. Schwartz, Amr S. Azzouz, and Herbert H. Einstein (September, 1982)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
Geotechnical Characterization of Desiccated Clay
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Conventional testing procedures produce scatter and bias in indicated properties of soils, such as desiccated clays. This paper describes and compares several conventional and nonconventional methods for characterizing the ... -
Closure to “<i>Shallow Land Burial of Low‐Level Radioactive Waste</i>” by David E. Daniel (January, 1983)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983) -
Ground Response Curves for Rock Tunnels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)Calculations of support pressure—tunnel convergence relationships, or ground response curves are used to improve understanding or rocksupport interaction and to aid in the dimensioning of tunnel support elements. Methods ... -
Modulus of Subgrade Reaction: New Perspective
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 1983)A review of the current state-of-the-art concerning the use of the modulus of subgrade reaction (Winkler) model indicates that there is considerable disagreement concerning the correct method for interpreting and evaluating ...
